M10x25x25 Weld-on Bung

A weld-on tank bung is a means of attaching pipe threads to a vessel. You can weld it onto the wall of a tank or pressure vessel. It provides solid pipe threads in a material typically too thin to tap for pipe threads. It’s a smart way to add an o2 sensor, petcock drain, or plumbing fitting to automotive components. These include exhaust tubing, oil pans, fuel cells, or intake manifolds.

There are several ways to put NPT (National Pipe Thread, which is a tapered, sealing thread used in plumbing; it is the US standard for pipe threads) in a drum, tank, or pressure vessel. The obvious is, of course, to use or adapt any threads already provided on the vessel. Another is to drill and tap a pipe-threaded hole, although this only works if the wall of the vessel is sufficiently thick to create enough threads; often it is not. A third is to use a through-wall fitting, which assembles around a hole drilled in the tank and does not require welding. These are rated for mild pressure and can be useful.
